The story so far
The challenge
"Oh no! No one noticed you working in the stacks! You’ve been locked in the library after hours and need to get out.
Fortunately one of the staff has left behind a series of clues to help you unlock the new security system and escape.”
This game is rated DIFFICULT with an average completion time of 60 minutes without hints (However the quickest time to beat is 28 minutes by an experienced escape room team).

Why ours

No downloads, no hassle
Pay and play. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing for anyone to install first.
Puzzles anyone can solve
Each puzzle is a self-contained logic challenge. You never get stuck because you don’t know some obscure fact.

Yours to replay

Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find an answer to your specific question do reach out via email or phone.
Do we need to download anything?
No. Our games run entirely in your web browser, so you can play on a phone, tablet or PC. If your device can access the internet, you can play: just click the link and start.
How many people can play?
As many as you like. You can choose to have hints on every game page, or run this as a hosted competitive event where you act as facilitator with our host guide and hints, and get a shareable link for a larger group.
Teams can be as large as you like, but for solving the puzzles it’s more fun in smaller teams of 3 to 6.
Can we play from different places?
Yes. You can play together from anywhere in the world: just add your favourite chat platform, like Zoom or Teams.
Can we play it more than once?
Yes, as many times as you like. The answers stay the same, but you can play it with a different group of friends or colleagues to give them a challenge. Buy the right size pack so there are enough active links for everyone each time. Need to upgrade for a bigger group? Get in touch and we can size you up rather than have you pay in full again.
Can you host it for us?
Yes. Our professional hosts lead your group through the event over Zoom. Each event can take up to 50 teams, the Zoom breakout-room limit; more teams just need two hosts and two event links. We can host on other platforms, like Teams, with a tech host from your side to move people between breakout rooms. We’ll contact you after you buy to arrange the date and time.
Can you brand a game for our company?
We can add your logo, brand colours or a custom video message to the opening and closing screens. Need something truly bespoke? We can create a fully custom escape game to fit your theme or campaign: just give us a few weeks’ notice.
Is there one we can try for free?
Yes: The Adventures of Jesse the Janitor is free, so you can see how our games play before you buy.
